With the sound of hooves, a large group of guards guarded a man in brocade clothes to come along the street. Looking at the uniforms of these guards, pedestrians on the street walked away one after another, and the eyes of these people were full of fear.

These guards belong to the Palace Front Office of the Liang Palace. The middle-aged man in brocade clothes protected by many guards was Hao Ren, the former leader of the underground gangster in Chang'an and the current commander of the Palace Front Office.

Now Hao Ren is definitely a terrifying figure in Yizhou City who can stop children from crying at night.

As the eagle claw of the Liang Prince's Mansion, Hao Ren killed people without blinking in Yizhou.

Zhu Youzhen killed Zhu Yougui, and after entering Yizhou, he carried out a cruel cleansing of Yizhou. The person in charge was Hao Ren. Later, Sheng Zhonghuai began to carry out land reform in Yizhou, which was actually imitating the equal-field system implemented by Li Ze in the north. Compared with the large family implemented by Li Ze, the court gave certain compensation to the owners who owned more than the limit, so as to recover the land and become state-owned, and then distributed it to those who have no land. At this time, Zhu Youzhen had no financial resources, and had no intention of doing so. Their approach was quite simple, which was to confiscate it. Then the confiscated land was distributed to tenants and those who had no land. While increasing the grain output, it also increased the number of people who paid taxes.

Under Zhu Youzhen's rule, there are basically no wealthy families in Yizhou at present. Because the wealthy families have almost all been killed by Zhu Youzhen.

Those wealthy families who welcomed Zhu Youzhen into Yizhou City after Zhu Yougui's death never expected that the one they welcomed into the city was a god of death for them.

Zhu Youzhen's approach is more radical and vicious than Li Ze, and of course, it is more effective in a short period of time.

The registered Dingkou above the household registration doubled in a very short time. These extra people were originally tenants or hidden households of wealthy families. These people did not have to pay taxes, but now they have been re-edited and registered, and they can't escape taxes or corvee labor.

Sheng Zhonghuai was a careful person. When implementing this matter, he really took every possible link into the extreme. It was not the regular army, but the Palace Front Office led by Hao Ren, and all prefectures and counties in Yizhou, who took action almost at the same time. At the first moment, those clans with strength and influence were uprooted, and the remaining small and medium-sized landlords were immediately scared and almost didn't need to use any more knives, so they honestly handed over their own fields.

Of course, there are still many fish that miss the net for such a large-scale action.

So since then, Hao Ren, the direct perpetrator, became the target of assassination by these fish who missed the net. Sometimes he had to be assassinated several groups of people a day.

However, these unprofessional assassinations are nothing to Hao Ren, and he can only give him more opportunities to clean up these people who escaped by chance.

Hao Ren, whose hands were covered in blood, was increasingly valued by Zhu Youzhen. Moreover, he was not only very strong in front of Zhu Youzhen, but also a person who could speak around Zhu Youzhen's princess and concubines. Because when Zhu Youzhen crossed the Qinling Mountains to Hanzhong, he left all his family behind. His two concubines and children finally escaped under the protection of Hao Ren and went through a lot of hardships to join Zhu Youzhen. As long as he thought about how many casualties were caused by the army when it crossed the Qinling Mountains, he could imagine how hard it was for Hao Ren to survive with a group of women and children.

Now Hao Ren is not only responsible for the intelligence in Yizhou, but also in charge of the criminal prison in Yizhou. He is truly in control of the power. He not only has a complete intelligence system, but also a unit of the Palace Front Office with up to 3,000 people.

Hao Ren's home was a former landlord's mansion in Yizhou, covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres, with all kinds of palaces and pavilions. However, after Hao Ren moved in, he shoveled all the beautiful scenery completely, making the whole house, except for the buildings, and left a large area of ​​bare open space. On these open spaces, he built rows of bungalows and arranged hundreds of soldiers in front of the hall to live in it. Every night, countless lanterns and torches are always lit in Hao's house, making the whole house bright. It almost became a beautiful landscape in Yizhou City.

In the mouths of Yizhou people, this is naturally because Hao Ren killed too many people, so he was afraid that someone would assassinate him, so he arranged this way.

Hao Ren was alone, without women or children. When he arrived in Yizhou, he was still alone, and even the women Zhu Youzhen gave him were returned one by one.

It seems that this person has no other hobbies besides doing things.

Among the civil and military officials in Yizhou, Hao Ren is definitely an alien and a pervert in the eyes of everyone.

But the more he was like this, the more he was valued and trusted by Zhu Youzhen, and even Sheng Zhonghuai called him a role model for officials.

Now, this role model returned to his home and entered the house that belonged to him, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.

The room was already warm and warm. As soon as I entered the door, a stream of heat came to my face. The best silver charcoal was burning silently, and the copper pot was steaming. A cup of hot tea had been soaked on the tea table, and the lounge chair was next to the charcoal basin.

Taking off the long cloak with cold air on his body, Hao Ren lay on the recliner, stretched out his limbs, moaned comfortably, then reached out to pick up the hot tea, and tasted it.

It's just hot and cold.

Only when he returns to this room can Hao Ren truly relax.

Because all the people in this house are trustworthy. The person responsible for the security of this house is his trusted subordinate, Daddy Tao.

"Blind!" Putting down the teacup, Hao Ren narrowed his eyes and shouted.

The blind man Tao came out.

Dark Tao is not really blind, but his eyes are very small. Although this man is not good-looking, his skills cannot be underestimated. Back then, this man escorted Jing Xiang out of the city, which was originally a dead end, but this man escaped from the heavens by relying on his almost intuitive prediction of danger.

"Is there anything wrong today?"

What Hao Ren asked about was naturally not his business in Yizhou, but what he needed to do with another identity. The leader of this matter was Dark Tao. In fact, after they arrived in Yizhou, few people from the inner guards came to him. For the inner guards, Hao Ren was a long line and a crucial line. It would never be activated unless it was absolutely necessary. But every time, Dark Tao would still contact him.

"have!"

Hao Ren just asked casually as usual, but he didn't expect to get such an answer, so he sat up straight.

Dad Tao bent down and pulled out a bamboo tube from the footboard on the bamboo lounge chair where Hao Ren was lying. He twisted it casually, twisted it open his head, poured out a thin metal tube from it, and handed it to Hao Ren.

Hao Ren carefully examined the seal on the metal cylinder and was slightly shocked, because it was the highest level of seal, representing this information, which came from Gongsun Changming, the highest head of the intelligence committee of Chang'an.

There are no more than three people who know Hao Ren's identity.

One is Gongsun Changming, the other is Tian Bo, and the other is Gao Xiangsheng. Gao Xiangsheng is now in Yizhou!

After unscrewing the metal tube, the tube was invalid and could no longer be restored. He threw the metal tube into the brazier and Hao Ren opened the information. This information was unexpectedly long, densely packed with small words, and was filled with a large piece of paper.

"What's this?" said the blind man Tao on the side in shock: "Why are you going to attack Yizhou?"

Hao Ren didn't say anything, slowly and carefully finished reading it, threw the information into the brazier, and said, "This information is not something that allows us to do."

"What is that?" asked Daddy Tao.

"Old Gao, you are going back to Chang'an. If he is promoted, he will soon become the second-in-command of the Tang Dynasty Intelligence Committee." Hao Ren said.

Tao Xiazi said happily: "This is a good thing. With your friendship with Gao Xiangsheng, your life will be better in the future."

Hao Ren smiled and said, "Even if we have hope for life in the future, we must live safely until then. Blind, now, I can only sleep peacefully when I return to this room and stay by my side. When I am outside, I can't fall asleep at all. This day is hard to bear."

Dad Tao smiled.

"But as you said, I have hope, my youngest son has now been promoted to magistrate. The greater the contribution he made, the more he will be able to treat my son in Chang'an. Since I can't reward me, of course I can only reward my son." Hao Ren said proudly.

"The young master is smart, maybe it is the result of his own struggle!" Tao Xiazi said with a smile.

"Maybe, my son's name is Hao Chong, doesn't it mean that he is so smart?" Hao Ren laughed, stood up from the recliner, stretched his waist, walked to the table, picked up his cloak, put it on his body, and walked out.

"Are you going out now?"

"Of course, Gao Xiangsheng must know this news as soon as possible!" Hao Ren said: "Next, we have to arrange for him to leave Yizhou. You can prepare it carefully, and we will leave tomorrow."

"Okay. The channel is always ready to go, you just need to notify and enable it!" said Tao Xiazi.

After leaving his own house, Hao Ren was put on his clothes again and left with great momentum. However, this time, the place he went to was in the prison in Yizhou.

As the commander of the Palace Front Office, the Yizhou Prison is also Hao Ren's territory. If the commander of the Palace Front Office is the beginning of Hao Ren's evil deeds in Yizhou, then the prison is the end.

After passing through the many alerts, I entered the gloomy prison. When I heard the footsteps, I suddenly became lively again, and the sounds of injustice were heard.
